The new aesthetic became known as freedom jazz (and, later, ...

Harold Land: A New Shade Of Blue

Read "A New Shade Of Blue" reviewed by Mark Corroto


What came first, craft beers or the revival of vinyl records? I ask because both revolutions have moved your collective attentions away from corporate culture to smaller more specialized boutiques. That means better beer and certainly a more diverse choice in music. Case in point, saxophonist Harold Land's A New Shade Of Blue originally issued on ...
